HelpRe: My in-laws don't use nicknames
in reply to a message by Aine
I think I mentioned it just because I have heard it be used before, and it is the first half of the name. Maybe it's not used so much, in other places.
Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I'm pretty sure that she would get Miri if I lived in DC.
Miri seems to be a Jewish nickname, there is a very tiny Jewish population here as opposed to other places. Putz is a surname in the area and Alexander had no idea why I couldn't stop laughing when I saw it - he was totally unfamiliar with the Yiddish insult.
Interesting enough my first encounter with Miriam was a Miriam nicknamed Miri. I fell in love with the name right then, although I didn't think I'd ever use it.
